Bink has an interesting article up on his site concerning
Windows XP SP3. Microsoft has apparently pushed back the scheduled release date
of SP3 to the second half of 2007. Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer had
originally announced that the 3rd service pack for XP would be released before
the launch of Longhorn (now Windows Vista).
Bink suggests that we could see a "Rollup Package" coming from
Microsoft in the near future for XP, with the possibility of that package
replacing SP3 all together. One can also reason that Microsoft will use the
delay of SP3 to further the cause of upgrading to
Vista
later on this year. Server 2003 SP2 is still scheduled for release in Q3/4 of
this year and no more service packs will be made available for Windows 2000 or
NT4.
